Meanwhile, it’s been reported that the 36-year-old actor sold her California home, making a profit of about $500K, in an effort to pay off her ex. Outlets point to Zillow property records and the sale of her Yucca Valley Home. Apparently the Southern California property netted her a profit of $480,000 after she sold it for $1.05 million.

TMZ reports that the new owner of the house has confirmed that, “he was in contact with Heard’s people.”

Heard filed the notice to appeal the court’s decision in the bombshell defamation case which delivered the verdict that she defamed Depp in an opinion piece she wrote for The Washington Post. Subsequently Depp was awarded $10.35 million in damages. But Heard won one of her three counter-suit claims and was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.

After the verdict, Heard wrote on Instagram, “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.”
